Water Recycling Projects Under Construction
The East Bayshore project's water recycling plant in Oakland uses microfiltration and extra disinfection.
EBMUD has two large multi-phased water recycling projects under construction, and both have begun supplying recycled water.
East Bayshore Recycled Water Project
When completed, the East Bayshore project will supply an annual average of 2.2 million gallons per day (mgd) of recycled water to portions of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville and Oakland. The recycled water will be used in place of drinking water to irrigate landscapes, flush toilets, restore wetlands and for industrial purposes. The first customers began
service in April 2008 and used 0.04 mgd of recycled water in FY09.
A special pipe assembly helps supply recycled water to a San Ramon golf course.
San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Program
When completed, the San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Program will serve about 2.4 mgd of recycled water to EBMUD irrigation customers in portions of Blackhawk, Danville and San Ramon. The first customers began receiving recycled water in 2006 and customers used 0.47 mgd of recycled water in FY09. This project is a partnership between EBMUD and the Dublin San Ramon Services District.
